"I did not mean to go this far," Maximilian calmly spoke, his gaze serious as he met King Edrucel's eyes who still looked confused. The man must be wondering what he was doing in his room in the middle of the night.
Then Maximilian continued. "I understand that Her Highness Tricia only wanted to make sure that my wife is safe, but… the enemies of the crown would probably think otherwise. Why would a demon princess leave guards outside the abode of a Vampire Prince and his wife?"
When Max came back, the first thing she noticed was the number of demons watching over the villa. "I understand your concern. However, there are things that we cannot control. What happened to Baron Liu is one of those things. The Baron had many connections in the demon world, and I'm afraid Tricia thought that they would somehow confuse what happened to the Baron as something that he suffered because of Her Highness Eve," the King answered.
